can chess be sexy?


Recently I only seem to be playing with a hangover. Strangely this has caused me to more creative, if a little slower....

Lately i have met some opponents who acquired rating 1600 or so in 4 matches or have make a step from 1340 to 1590 after 1 match. How is this possible? After any game i have just won, my rating only get higher by a couple of points. Are these player hackers? family of the founder? There is nothing sexy about chess, only is you think controll/power and sex are about the same thing


Queenie,
I think you refer to "The Thomas Crown Affair".

Thats it Ray, thanks, now that was sexy wasn't it?

Of course chess is sexy! The rush of adrenalin you get as you are about to win a game is very sexy :-) Have you ever noticed how players speed up their moves as they are closing in on their prey!? It's fantastic! X

Feeling a little bit sensetive at the moment?
One ticking off too many perhaps.


I have heard many an argument about how Mathematics can be sexy (in real life - not in Good Will Hunting) and the gist of it was built around having an understanding for Math.
I would imagine that it would be the case in chess.

Hey Bradford, I was really hoping that you might have a personal site you might like to promote along with your comment.
Maybe something whereby I could give you money maybe?
I'm frustrated that you didn't provide a handy link in your comment.
Please, in the future, provide such a link with each and every comment you leave, okay?
Ive heard chess being described as art but can it be sexy? Apparently football can so why not chess?
When Sophie Milliet is playing it is. :P

If you didn't say it, I certainly would have.
